When Li Ying ordered the soup, she hired a maid to help keep an eye on it, and then asked someone to deliver the soup to a nearby shopping mall in Huanyu when the time came.
She had scheduled the reception banquet at the restaurant over there, so she might hurry up and sneak out at noon.
In the spirit of making friends, she dressed simply and had been waiting in the restaurant for a long time.
There are four people on the other side, two men and two women, all of whom have just returned from studying abroad and are very outgoing.
"I originally thought there would be traffic jams in the Imperial City, but I didn't expect it would be quite smooth today."
"The sunshine is also good, it's not a bit cold like the previous two days."
Several people were talking. Among them, Shen Rufeng was the oldest. His words and deeds were a bit like Gong Shiheng's. He was gentle and thoughtful. He always took care of everyone and helped Li Ying arrange her itinerary.
"Thanks to Yingzi, we won't be too busy in Taicang."
Everyone thanked him and went into the restaurant together.
Li Ying was actually a little absent-minded thinking about Tang. She was a little embarrassed when Shen Rufeng thanked her.
"It's a small thing, just let everyone have fun."
She breathed a sigh of relief, found a seat by the floor-to-ceiling windows, invited everyone to sit down, and introduced the restaurant's signature dishes.
…
It's past eleven o'clock
Li Yaohua came to Huanyu to see the progress of the project. When it was time for dinner, he naturally went to eat.
The location reserved by the secretary is on the top floor of a nearby shopping mall, and the environment is okay.
As a group of people entered, Secretary Yu first saw what was going on in the restaurant behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Is that the eldest lady?"
Lan Jingyu looked over subconsciously.
In the restaurant, by the floor-to-ceiling window, the girl was holding ice cream in her hand. Opposite her was a bespectacled man in casual clothes. The two of them seemed to be talking very happily, and she had a smile on her face.
Forget about anything else, even from a distance, Lan Jingyu could tell that the other person's temperament was very similar to Gong Shiheng's.
To be precise, it is version 0.5.
"Miss, are you...on a blind date?" the little secretary said later.
Li Yaohua looked over and smiled, "It was probably arranged by her mother."
It was indeed a blind date.
Lan Jingyu almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face, his jaw tightened and the corners of his mouth tightened.
As a group of people moved forward, he could not stop midway.
When they arrived at the elevator door, several secretaries were still discussing the handsome man and the beautiful woman.
Secretary Yu glanced at Lan Jingyu's micro-expression, cleared his throat, and said, "It doesn't count as a blind date. I seem to have heard Mr. Li say that it should be the children of Mr. Li and Mr. Li's college classmates who are here to play?"
Li Yaohua nodded, "It seems so."
The little secretary joked, "That's even better. They are family friends. What a perfect match."
Secretary Yu was silent for a moment and glanced at the talkative little secretary.
The other party was completely unaware and was still smiling.
There weren't many people in the elevator, but it was quite lively.
Lan Jingyu turned a deaf ear, and her mind was filled with the appearance of the man opposite Li Ying, and his eye-catching gold-rimmed glasses.
He didn't have much interaction with Gong Shiheng. The few times he saw him in public, he always wore glasses and looked like a good gentleman.
Pretty good at pretending.
Sure enough, the whole world knew what kind of girl that little bastard liked, and her own mother only looked for the same kind of partners when looking for blind dates for her.
This shows how fiercely she chased people back then.
He breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his soreness, and walked out of the door when the elevator opened.
…
downstairs
Li Ying was talking to Shen Rufeng while staring at the people who were going to get their meals, "Why aren't you back yet?"
"I guess it's just a bit of a nuisance. In the past few years abroad, although everyone is not short of money and can afford Chinese restaurants, after all, things are not so comprehensive abroad."
